ALTEN Technology USA is an engineering company helping clients bring groundbreaking ideas to life—from space exploration and medical devices to autonomous electric vehicles. With 3,000+ experts across North America, we partner with leading companies in aerospace, medical devices, robotics, automotive, EVs, rail, and more.
As part of the global ALTEN Group, we deliver across the entire product development cycle, from consulting to full project outsourcing. We offer mentorship, career growth opportunities, and comprehensive benefits in a culture that values employees and supports growth.
We are developing a purpose-built autonomous vehicle and the Sustaining Engineering team ensures long-term reliability, serviceability, and performance as our fleet scales to real-world operations. As an Electrical Sustaining Engineer, you will own sustaining engineering for critical electrical subsystems (sensors, wiring, high-voltage interfaces, lighting, control modules). You will lead design, release, and validation of solutions to address fleet issues, coordinate across suppliers, manufacturing, and service engineering to ensure robust, scalable, and service-friendly solutions. Your work will directly improve fleet uptime, diagnostic effectiveness, and safety, while establishing best practices in sustaining electrical systems.

Lead fleet trials and analyze post-release performance to verify long-term effectiveness of implemented changes
Provide technical leadership during retrofit campaigns, installation trials, and field failure triage
Mentor junior engineers and technicians on best practices in sustaining engineering and electrical diagnostics
Drive continuous improvement using fleet data, technician feedback, and service reliability metrics
Requirements
BS in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related discipline (MS preferred)
6–8 years of demonstrated experience in electrical systems engineering within a product design and manufacturing environment
Proven record of implementing subsystem-level reliability or serviceability improvements in production vehicles or complex electro-mechanical systems
Strong proficiency in 3D CAD tools (CATIA preferred) and electrical design tools (Altium a plus)
Experience with DFMEA, root cause analysis, and validation testing for electrical systems
Detail-oriented with excellent documentation and cross-functional communication skills
Ability to manage multiple projects autonomously with competing priorities
Experience with EV architectures, high-voltage systems, or autonomous vehicle platforms strongly preferred
